Enter the total number of cats and the total area (miles^2) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Cats Per Square Mile. 

Cats Per Square Mile Formula

CPM = C / SM

Variables:

  • CPM is the Cats Per Square Mile (cats/mile^2)
  • C is the total number of cats
  • SM is the total area (miles^2)

To calculate Cats Per Square Mile, divide the total number of cats by the area in square miles.
